There is a brand of 25mcg by Wockhardt, and another brand by Goldshield in a

blue packet GOLDSHIELD LEVOTHYROXINE and Goldshield informed me that it was

their Generic brand.

I also have a 43 page pdf file about Evotrox.Would you like me to send it to you

if allows it.I have not yet been able to locate just the PIL for it.

No thanks Kathleen. I am snowed under as it is without having to

go through 43 pages of information. I need somebody to find out the information

I asked for, and only that information. It matters not whether it is the brand

name or a generic levothyroxine - if it is prescribed in the UK, then I need

that information. Thanks anyway.

Hi,

I have Goldsheild Levothyroxine

In the what they are used for section is says:

Levothyroxine contains levothyroxine sodium which is a synthetic form of the

hormone thyroxine. Thyroxine is normally in he body produced by the thyroid

gland in the neck. It controls many bodily functions, mainly to do with growth

and energy. Levothyroxine is used to treat an under active thyroid which is not

producing enough thyroxine.

In the warnings / tell your Dr. section it says:

Do not take Levothyroxine tablets if:

1) You are allergic to levothyroxine sodium or any of the other ingredients of

Levothyroxine ( see section 6 of this leaflet )

2) You have been told that your thyroid is overactive

Please tell you Dr. if any of the above applies to you

Take special care with Levothyroxine tablets if you:

Suffer from Diabeties. The dosage of your diabetic medication may need to be

altered

Suffer from high blood pressure, hearth failure or heart attack

Suffer from any condition which effects your adrenal glands ( your Dr. will be

able to advise you )

Are Elderly

Have a long standing history of lo thyroxine levels

Hi Sheila

In my search I came across another generic called Almus. I am not sure

if this is the same as Actavis. It seems that the forums are also

confused. I cannot find a PIL online but from the forum talk, the PIL

is the same as Actavis.
